Abstract
Feijoa, Acca Sellowiana (O.Berg.) O. Berg is a subtropical fruit from the Myrtaceae family. It is grown all over the world, but in Croatia it is the least represented type of fruit. Feijoa is mainly propagated generative by. In the Institute for mediterranean plants, the previous experiences of propagating feijoa by cuttings did not give the best results. Therefore, the goal of this study was to determine the rooting of Feijoa cuttings treated with different concentrations of indole-butyric acid (IBA) phytohormone with respect to the time of taking the cuttings. The research took two years, and semi-woody and woody cuttings were used. The basal part of cuttings was treated with different concentrations of phytohormone IBA (1500, 2000, 2500, 3000 ppm). The results show the best rooting of semi-mature cuttings at a concentration of 2500 ppm, with 32% success.
